Writing your own connector is probably a big undertaking, and not for 
the faint of heart.

Why not just write a standalone server, if you're not using HTTP?

Or, even simpler, why not have the client use POST and read the body as an
input stream in the servlet? This does allow you to send "raw data" from a
client to a Servlet.  Consult any good book on Servlet Programming for how
to do it.  This way you get all the benefits of Tomcat without having to 
rewrite it.
